I'm not really up on them, but I think most 2.5" levels are pretty affordable. Lots here have them without issues. If you put on a 3" body lift as well, you'd gain some more height. I'm not sure about price on that, but there's folks with em so they can chime in. Might find some info going through the suspension section or searching though.

I paid $110 for a truxxx kit. It doesn't seem bad. I would get it if it is the wrong part you could always send it back

haha hell yea thats the one! looks like i man not go db after all.lol thanks a lot man :D cuz after that, i may just stick with the rough country 2" leveling kit to even out the height, im keeping my factory chrome alloy rims and stock tires. and then im going to switch out some of the handles and mirrors from black to chrome and white, along with the front grill. and then the exhuast will put on a perfect twist! the only las thing at this point that im unsure of, is do you think bull bars look tacky or no? i dont believe i would get lights on it, and if i did then it wouldnt be until later. but im still undecided about it. whats your opinion? i think the black and chrome ones look straight up wierd, and i guess chrome would fit more the style im looking for. but who knows until ya get it i guess??

I like very little chrome myself. I like bumpers, wheels, and exhaust tips in chrome. If you look at the pic of my truck I haven't really added chrome except the wheels. Also I don't care for bull bars, but my truck is 2 wheel drive. Its a daily driver and I use it to tow. A color matched truck would look good. Grille shell, mirrors, door handles and leave chrome bumpers and wheels and the exhaust tip.

i dont mind chrome as long as its not excessive. for some reason though, im not too fond of the flat black look on the stock mirrors, handles and back latch so i want to change all of that. as for looks over all, i kind of like how this guy has his set up. id tweak it a little but its a good plan

I would like body color mirrors, but I have tow mirrors so they have to go to a body shop. I have other things to spend that massive amount of money on. I am concentrating more on performance mods.

haha yea i feel you on that one, the mirrors along are gonna cost me like 50 bucks, and the handles are like 15 each. but it all adds up. and what type of things can you do performance wise that doesnt cost crazy amounts of money but add up in the end. anything like air filter, air intake and stuff like that

An intake will give you like 6-12 HP depending on brand. Air aid MIT is the best bang and is cheap. A custom tune is the best thing you can do. After a tune, intake, exhaust(all I have on mine) you get into the big money hard parts(cam, heads, forced induction, adding displacement). Headers work well too and range in prices. Go long tubes if you don't have emissions testing

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
